Restaurants near Mama Bear - Nevada City Retreats

Birthday celebration, party of 9, seated before all came. Food was fresh and delicious. Server, Antonio was phenomenal any questions or adjustments to an order he was willing to help and work around it. Will dine again

Always a great experience here. Would have liked cocktails served sooner and steak was a tad more rare than I hoped but friendly service, lovely atmosphere and loved the apples dessert special. Thank you.

We always have great food and service at Council Oaks! We brought our Dad for his 93rd birthday…his request! We love the prime rib night(Sunday) and this time did not disappoint. Food was, as always, absolutely delicious and well prepared. Service was top tier. They took good care of us. We will definitely be back soon!

One of the best values in Nevada City. Service was prompt and excellent from beginning to end. Prices were about 10-15% higher than the menu posted on their website, but I've learned to expect that. We shared a Ceasar Salad ($16)(our server asked if we wanted it with or without anchovies) and the fondue for two ($49). It was plenty, and delicious. The wines were pricy, at $12-18/glass. I chose the lower priced Chardonnay ($14) but found myself wishing for something a bit more dry to counter the fondue cheese. The bill came to $100; we added a $25 tip. Note: We had requested a seat in a quiet area, but upon arriving we heard live music so decided to sit on that side. Not a good choice, as we couldn't see the band, but it still made conversation difficult. That is considered the "bar area", long and narrow, so there is very little dinner seating within view of the stage. Oh, well, live and learn.

Amazing food, service and atmosphere. Drinks are on point. Nothing more needs to be said.
